What happens if a centrifuge is unbalanced? Unbalanced centrifuge rotors can result in injury or death. Sample container breakage can release aerosols that are harmful if inhaled. The majority of all centrifuge accidents result from user error. Why does a centrifuge separate blood? Centrifugal force is used to separate the components of blood – red […]

How does surface area affect the rate of heat transfer?
How does surface area affect the rate of heat transfer? Each individual particle on the surface of an object is involved in the heat conduction process. An object with a wider area has more surface particles working to conduct heat. As such, the rate of heat transfer is directly proportional to the surface area through […]
What is the highest point of trajectory along the path of a bullet?
What is the highest point of trajectory along the path of a bullet? (a) By “height” we mean the altitude or vertical position y above the starting point. The highest point in any trajectory, called the apex, is reached when vy=0. Since we know the initial and final velocities, as well as the initial position, […]
How does a diesel engine work step by step?
How does a diesel engine work step by step? Two-stroke engines Exhaust and intake: Fresh air is blown into the side of the cylinder, pushing the old exhaust out through valves at the top. Compression: The inlet and exhaust valves close. Power: As the air-fuel mixture ignites, it pushes the piston down, driving the crankshaft […]

What is compound gear train?
What is compound gear train? A compound gear is a number of gears fixed together. Consequently, they rotate at the same speed. The gear train below has an arrangement of gear wheels including two compound gears. Gear trains like this are often found inside machines such as centre lathes and milling machines. How is gear […]
